Title: What
is Performance - Benchmarks beyond SPECint

Abstract:Evaluating
system performance is an art. It goes well beyond the single
number result you might get from a popular benchmark like SPECint.
Because different applications stress different parts of a
system, there are numerous other benchmarks. Only if you know
the most popular ones, what they do and how they correlate to real
world workloads will you be able to use them successfully in
discussions with your customer. This webinar will present an
overview of common benchmarks and shed some light on benchmarketing
tricks used by hardware vendors.
